title: [Local brain consumption of glucose during waking and slow wave sleep in the cat].
abstract: Local cerebral glucose utilization (LCGU) was measured during spontaneous waking and slow wave sleep (SWS) by adaptation of the [14C] deoxyglucose method to the unrestrained Cat. During waking LCGU ranges from 12 micromoles. 100g-1.mn-1 for white matter to 113 for the inferior colliculus. During SWS most regions exhibit higher levels of LCGU. Thus it appears that there is no decrease of cerebral metabolic activity during SWS in the Cat.
